Greetings!


May is one of my favorite months of the year. Not only is the weather turning for the better with nature in full bloom, but we also recognize EMS Week. This year, EMS week is May 19 - 25. The week is dedicated to the hardworking individuals that put the community before themselves daily.


Stay tuned to our social media channels for some lifesaving tips and to see what we are up to each day.


In other exciting news, we officially took over as the EMS provider of Bushkill Township, Northampton County on the first of May. We look forward to working alongside the Volunteer Fire Company and getting to know the residents of the community.


If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.


Stay well,


Robert F. Mateff Sr.

Chief Executive Officer
